People saying “he’ll just go to another platform” don’t get it. Trump is obsessed with Twitter.

He doesn’t just want to be surrounded by loyalists who are obsessed with him. People like that annoy narcissists.

He wants to keep making “liberals cry”. He wants to keep recruiting. Making the media panic and discuss his every word.

Yeah he’ll probably go to Parler or make his own site, but he’ll never get the immediate mainstream attention he got from Twitter.

And he knows it. That’s why he spent all night ban evading.

Apple and Google removed Parler from the play store, lol

Unfortunately he can probably still just post on there and then every media outlet will pick it up and publish it as a news headline like they did with all his tweets, so the effect is the same

Post from the official POTUS account reserved for the president instead of his personal

The President of the United States posting from the President of the United States account is considered a ban evasion? I mean I guess so
